Definitions

  • the invention relates to a handpiece according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a handpiece has already been proposed. It can be used for different Treatment or processing measures on the human or animal body Use in cases where there is a certain depth of penetration of the tool the handpiece arrives, there is already a stop device on the handpiece with a Stop part has been proposed, the axial distance to the tool tip so is adjustable, that different penetration depths can be set for the tool.
  • the stop part of the stop device in the respectively set position can be a positive or non-positive locking device, e.g. on Screw drive or a clamping screw, with which the stop part manually adjustable and positively secured in the set position or with which Stop part is clamped. In both cases, a special component must be moved become.
  • the invention has for its object a handpiece in the preamble of Claim 1 specified type so that an easy to use and quick adjustment of the stop part along the penetration depth is possible.
  • the handpiece according to the invention there is no need to loosen and tighten the Adjustment device on the stop device, but for an adjustment can Stop part can be gripped and adjusted manually directly, whereby only a certain Applying force is necessary to adjust the stop part.
  • the finding of the Stop part in the respectively set position is done automatically by the elastic Clamping force that is so large that the stop device in the Functional operation of the handpiece is able to absorb occurring stop forces without to be adjusted, and on the other hand is only so large that the stop part by the manual push or pull force can be adjusted, the elastic clamping force is suppressed.
  • the configuration according to the invention is also characterized by a simple and my design.
  • the former is due to the fact that there is none requires additional and movable clamping part, so that the stop device in Easier and my design can be done, given the cramped Spatial conditions at possible treatment points of the human or animal Body and especially essential in a dental handpiece Meaning is.
  • Adjustment gear as is the case with a screw drive, but the stop part is moved directly into its adjustment movement, and large drive paths and Intermediate gearboxes, which also lead to a larger design, are eliminated.
  • the respective attachment points are closed by the treatment center Treatment site different, and therefore it is necessary to adjust the position of the Stop part with respect to the respective attachment point. It is already here too has been proposed to adjust the stop part transversely and in the respective Arrange the adjustment position with a clamp screw.
  • a stop device in particular at the front end of a handpiece, with respect to the resulting size in two ways problematic.
  • the attachment of a stop device leads to a Enlargement of the handpiece, and on the other hand there is a view of the treatment site hindered, both when the viewing direction taking into account a My angle of inclination is directed along the tool axis as well as transversely to it.
  • any widening of the handpiece head is fundamentally undesirable.
  • the second case mainly disturbs the stop part itself, which extends to the treatment site extends and limits the depth of familiarization by a stop.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a handpiece in Preamble of claim 6 specified type so that a easy to use and quick adjustment of the stop part, across the penetration depth is possible.
  • One of several attachment points on the tissue can be selected in functional operation that is particularly well suited for a stop, or where a stop at all is only possible.

  • the invention is further based on the object of a handpiece in the preamble of claim 8 specified type so that it for work with and without Penetration depth limitation can be used.
  • the stop device is by a locking device or a plug / clamp device connected to the handpiece and thus easy to use, quick to assemble and detach. This allows the The stop device is quickly attached to the handpiece when it is needed and then quickly removed when not in use.
  • a latching device or plug-in / clamping device is suitable for measures excellent, because they are quick and easy to handle Allow disassembly and also ensure a My design.
  • An advantageous attachment point is located directly in front of the End face of a handpiece or a handpiece head (elbow) and that in the Tool near surrounding area. This area is preferably through an approach in particular a ring approach on the relevant end face, on which the Stop device is attachable, preferably by the locking device or the plug / clamp device. This position described above disturbs the view of the Treatment site not because the line of sight is to the side of the handpiece or Handpiece head is directed and therefore also runs next to this treatment site.
  • the invention also relates to the stop device according to the invention self.
  • the stop device is a component that can optionally be attached to the Handpiece is mountable.
  • the invention therefore also relates to the Stop device as a single part.
  • the handpiece designated 1 has a grip sleeve 2 that is straight or can extend angled, as is common with dental handpieces, and on a connecting device 3, e.g. a tension or Holding device for a tool 4, which is e.g. around a cutting tool 4 can act.

  • the cross-directional elastic clamping force shown by the arrow 11 becomes clear depressed. In order to facilitate manual gripping of the stop part 7, this has in a waist or thickening, e.g. a thickened head 12, preferably at the end of the stop part 7 facing away from the tool tip made of a relatively hard material, which due to its elongated or pin-shaped shape is transversely elastically flexible and is preferably plastic.
  • the guide 8 is formed by an angled tube 13, on its Inner cross-sectional size adapted the stop member 7 with a slight movement is so that it is manually in a straight portion of the tube 13 therein is easy to move. Due to the angling of the pipe, e.g. through an angle W of about 30 °, the straight stop part 7 is forced to bend, i.e. the stop member 7 is when inserted into the tube 13 in the angled shape bent. As a result, in the stop part 7 due to its elasticity Rebending force 11a caused, which permanently presses against the pipe wall and generates the elastic clamping force 11 due to the existing surface friction, the bent leg of the stop part 7 itself as a transversely movable clamping part 9a acts. The size of the clamping force 11 depends on the angle W and can be determined by a larger or smaller angle W can be predetermined.
